White line reflections
Keep me on the way
Never stop coming at me
In the night and in the day
I came such a long way
And the years have run off
And left me behind
Where is my life going?
As I drive my car down the highway
I ask myself the same questions
And the pointless interrogation continues…
White line reflections
Flash back the moonlight
Through the moist regrets
In my eye sight
I will protect the dreams I had for my life
I will raise the walls high
I will stop trying to succeed
At most things
And especially those I really love
Because I couldn’t bear another failure
Or a critical look
From people I needed to lift me up
From people I left
Because I felt they didn’t want me anymore
Or at least didn’t want me the way I am
I’m having trouble loving you
The person in my present situation
I’m having trouble trusting you
The person in my present location…
I want to move forward
But my feet are moving so slowly
And those around me are getting impatient
Because I can’t let go of the past
And it’s getting heavier to carry every day.
If I could write
The thoughts I have tonight
If I could say
Something about yesterday
To a friend
To someone who would listen
And not condemn
It would make me feel better
If I could write a letter
Or a story or a poem
That shattered the walls around me
That freed my spirit
And if someone would hear it
The white line reflections
Would keep the beat
To a song of joy…
